read moreRing Flash Underwater Photography
 By Joaquin Gutierrez Fernandez  One of the trickiest aspects of taking macro and super-macro images is providing even lighting to a tiny subject when it’s just inches away. Even relatively small strobes can be a tight fit when focusing on tiny critters. A ring flash, on the other hand, attached to the front of the lens, provides even lighting without having to maneuver your strobes.  What Is a Ring Flash?  The ring...
read more10 Things I Discovered at the WPPI 2015 Trade Show
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) holds an annual conference and trade show. It’s a massive photography convention with over 10,000 attendees converging on Las Vegas, Nevada each year. I’ve personally attended it over 12 times – both as photographer and trade representative. This year I decided to go just to see some old friends I haven’t seen in way too long, meet some others I’ve only ever seen online, and to make some new contacts. In this article I’ll share with you my top...
read morePhotographing Special Events Like the Birth of a Baby
A Post By: Melinda Smith Sometime in your life as a photographer, you might be lucky enough to get the chance to photograph an event that is so special, so sacred, so personal, that all you can do is be grateful that you have been invited to be part of that unforgettable moment. My photos and words will focus on photographing the birth of a brand new baby, but there are many other events, some happy, some sad, that you might be asked to photograph, and these suggestions may help you with those times too. Be Respectful Above all else, be...
read moreNovo to produce filter range using sapphire crystal and Gorilla Glass
A new filter manufacturer called Novo is promising a range of filters that will be made from super-durable sapphire crystal and Gorilla Glass, which should have enhanced scratch resistance. The company also claims its filters will have extremely thin brass frames, and will feature ‘superior coatings’. With the initial launch Novo will use sapphire crystal for its UV filter in the Sapphire range, while the Endura range, which will be protectors and UV filters, will use Gorilla Glass. A further variable ND and a...

read moreAloha! We go shooting with Samsung’s new NX500 [UPDATED]
I owned Samsung’s first mirrorless the NX10 along with the much gloated 30mm f2, mostly because it offered exceptional value at clearance prices. But at the same time it just didn’t. The 30mm was ok, but nothing spectacular (yes it’s a bit smaller than say your average crop 35mm f1.8, but not significantly so). The body was pretty ‘meh’. It in no way was better or even particularly smaller than an a55 and 35mm f1.8, but the sensor was actually pretty horrid… no REALLY horrid. Since getting rid of it and a...

Did you know that some creatures can actually see the world in long exposures? Scientists recently discovered that cockroaches are the latest insect found to have that feature built into their eyes and brains. It allows the resilient little bugs to see in near-pitch black environments.Scientific American reports that researchers at the University of Oulu in Finland inserted a harmless recording instrument into a roach’s eyeball in order to document electric signals that are generated when the photoreceptor cells detect an incoming...

Arne Svenson is a well-known fine art photographer who is currently represented by the Julie Saul Gallery in New York. For his last exhibition, Arne experienced quite a controversy recently when he was sued by one of his subjects for his series The Neighbors, after they learned that he photographed them without their knowledge with a telephoto lens from his apartment. The news made worldwide headlines, but Svenson won the case in August 2013 (the subject is currently appealing the ruling). Many viewed the outcome as a victory for...

Visitors to Google today are being treated to a Doodle logo replacement that pays tribute to photography pioneer Anna Atkins. Atkins was born 216 years ago today, and in her life she became one of the first — if not the first — women to create a photograph. The Doodle is inspired by the cyanotype photographs (contact prints) of leaves and algae that Atkins started making a year after her friend John Herschel invented the photographic process in 1842. Click the image on Google and you’ll be taken to the search results for “Anna...

Vesa Lehtimaki, Shelly Corbett, and Boris Vanrillaer are three photographs living in three different places (Helsinki, Seattle, and Stockholm, respectively) who share a common photography interest: fine art photos of LEGO figurines. Their passion for LEGOography, as it’s known, led them to band together to form a collective known as Stick In Plastic. In addition to sharing their work online, they’ve also begun to hold real life fine art photo exhibitions. All three photographers started out by sharing their images through Instagram...
read moreSeeing is the Essence of Photography, And You Can Learn to Do It Better
Photography is an analytic art form. We aim our lenses to specific parts of the world around us to pick a frame because, in our analysis, that particular frame presents the photograph we wish to take. We can certainly raise the camera, lower the camera, rotate it, pitch it, yaw it, aim at a different part and end up photographing something different. You should realize that there are infinite number of photographs you can take from where you are now. How then do we aim the camera to “that particular frame†to photograph? Seeing is...

read moreUsing the Adjustment Brush in Adobe Camera Raw
A Post By: Sarah Hipwell A before and after using the Adjustment Brush on the buildings. What is the Adjustment Brush? The Adjustment Brush is an editing tool in Adobe Camera Raw (known simply as ACR). This tool is possibly the equivalent of the Dodge and Burn tools in Photoshop. So what is dodging and burning? To dodge is to lighten and to burn is to darken a specific area. What does it do? When you make your initial global adjustments of a RAW file in ACR, more than likely, you will need to make local adjustments too. This is where the...

A Post By: Peter West Carey The latest release of The Photographer’s Ephemeris (TPE) releases even more tools to help us photographers get the shots we want. There is just too much for one article, so I am going to focus on a personal favorite subject – full moon photos. Before handy apps like TPE, LightTrac and PhotoPills, figuring out where the moon might be on any given night took some educating. Pile on top of that the desire to know when the moon was behind, or next to, a specific feature, natural or man-made, and the calculations...

Of course, wide open sharpness isn’t everything to sports and wildlife shooters,,,,, just kidding,, it is. That sensor is really noisy too,, even at ISO200. Nasty. Source Article from...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
